MacDONALD, Kathryn Ann
August 1, 1980 – August 1, 2022
Kathryn Ann MacDonald, of Calgary, died Monday, August 1, 2022, at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre on her 42nd birthday.
Katie was born on August 1, 1980 to Hugh and Cathy MacDonald in Deep River, Ontario. Katie attended Western University and graduated with a degree in Kinesiology. She also attended Queensland University of Technology and graduated with a degree in Education. She was an avid soccer and volleyball player. She spent many years living in Australia before settling back in Canada.
She leaves behind her pride and joy, her three children, Ali (13), Malia (11), and Kaia Gunston (5). Katie was many wonderful things but being a mom was her passion and her priority. She fought cancer with everything she had to ensure she was here for as long as possible for her kids. Katie is lovingly remembered by her parents, her children, her sisters, Krista MacDonald (Michel Moreau) and Lindsay MacDonald (Andy Kierans); her partner, Andy Bennett; her aunt, Gwynne MacDonald; her nieces and nephew; as well as many other aunts, uncles, cousins, and close friends. Celebrations of Life will take place in both Calgary and Deep River at a later date.
